T4NK Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 so the bad news for this week. according to my mechanic my crank shaft is f*cked an my easiest and cheapest way out is an engine swap. honestly i hate my life. anyone know of any dirt cheap r33 rb25de motors kicking around? DVS jez has a RB25DE NEO that he is selling, could drop that in it. call teh Jap wreckers around the country 99% chance they will have one for like 1k or less then just ezy swap.

Reedo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 ive found an n/a neo engine down in sydney for 400 bucks. going to try and get the price down to 300. engine has been out of the guys car for 3 months so it may need a clean up but for that price im keen. just looking forward to having my baby back on the road and hopefully having a neo in it will bump the value up.

34GeeTeeTee Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Perfect dude! Just check you can run the long motor and swap your bits onto it as the NEO's have some differences etc, should be fine though Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402383-s-a-u__n-e-w-c-a-s-t-l-e/page/213/#findComment-6731974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reedo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 yeah from what ive looked into it will work. what do you mean by long motor? my current motor is the rb25de Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402383-s-a-u__n-e-w-c-a-s-t-l-e/page/213/#findComment-6732199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BakemonoRicer Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 yeah from what ive looked into it will work. what do you mean by long motor? my current motor is the rb25de Long motor is an engine that only needs some external parts installed. Comes with the head bolted to the short block. There are some differences between rb25de NEO long motor and RB25DE long motor Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/402383-s-a-u__n-e-w-c-a-s-t-l-e/page/213/#findComment-6732217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reedo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 oh okay. as far as ive read the motor will bolt in. either way ill have the old motor and new one side by side and a mechanic on hand. long as the engine mounts line up.
